Got the JWVB installed and did the fluid flush while in there. Thanks for the replies guys and also to Dennis @ ITP- That guy is awesome - Called him today as I was unsure (as I usually am) and he called John Wood direct for me and got back to me right away with the answers.- Anyway the truck shifts real nice now, no more lag in between shifts. Cant wait to tow with it and see how she does!

 

So what was the deal with the plate?

 

Good deal -- I've been enjoying mine since I put in the TransGo. My DP is now in route to Jody to get updated. I can't wait to see how it shifts when it comes back. It's going to be a long week. The good thing is that I'm out of town all next week, so I won't be driving my truck without it the whole time. But man, I drove home tonight from work and it really feels like it's broken!! I stomp on the pedal and there's just nothing there!! I had it floored on the interstate and it felt like I was pulling all the traffic behind me...

So what did you have trouble with? I'm curious...

 

can you post a video of how she is shifting?

 

John Wood, and BTS & Jody put out some terrific parts. I had mine all done at the same time, and couldn't believe the difference it made, both towing and going empty.

When driving with no trailer behind, my truck will smoke the tires going from 1st to second, then chirp them when shifting from 2nd to third.

Sometimes, it's just hard not to when you're having fun!!

Was the install pretty straightforward like it looks?

 

Deal with part was that I did'nt have my cheater glasses on (had on my old scratched up safety glasses) and I saw what I thought was a metal plate. Wound up being the hard plastic gasket ,just bolted it up there and was good to go. Coonhunterjoe- Im feeling pretty good about finally posting a few pics in my gallery( though there not very good) and since it took me a year to figure out how to do that, I'll have to work on the video. Randomhero - Install would have been easy if I had been smarter and had my specs on.LOL

 

Wait, so the JW VB doesn't come with a recalibration plate?? Interesting...

 

You will want to go at it from the side...if you do it straight on tranny fluid drips in your eyes!!!

Seriously, I just told somebody the other day the my girlfriend could do it! It is easy. Just bolts. Everything is SUPER easy to get at. Like I said the only problem is dripping tranny fluid. I did it on a "low pro creeper" (Read piece of cardboard) this helped soak up the drops, but I still ended up just throwing my shirt away when I finished.

 

Joe -Theres no plate with the JW. Called Dennis @ ITP @ verified after reading your post the other day. Course I dont have the capability of re-drilling to tighten up shift firmness.
